Vernon Hills Montessori Academy

Our Montessori school in Vernon Hills offers a broad school curriculum for children ages 15mo - 6 years old. Our Toddler Program offers very young children a very unique year of self development in a tender atmosphere of special understanding, respect, and support.

Our preschool class promotes individuality, confidence, responsibility for one’s self and fellow peers, respect for the classroom, and freedom to participate in many different activities as the child develops. The freedom to pursue own self interests by choosing activities enables the child to exercise some control over his or her life.

Our Vernon Hills Montessori kindergarten, the kindergarten child is presented with endless opportunities to develop all his or her senses and their motor skills with the aid of self-correcting materials in a prepared setting. During the third year a child can not only work with these materials in more depth, thus gaining more insights from them, but, using this base, can move into the academic areas.

Next, having learned from older children, shared with peers and helped younger children, our kindergarteners have the opportunity to assume leadership within the classroom.

In our school, the kindergartners enjoy and benefit from being involved in many enrichment classes, such as private piano, guitar, voice, throwing, gymnastics lessons and more.

We also offer a After school program, music lessons (private & semi Private) as well as a Summer Day Camp Program.
